Chapter 170 If You Hurt Her

• CHAPTER 170: If you hurt her…
• The morning sun streamed through the large windows of the courthouse lounge, casting golden light on the polished stone floors. Sarah stood near the wall, dressed in a modest but elegant cream dress, her hands folded together tightly. The delicate cream dress she wore skimmed her body softly, not quite a wedding gown, yet not just another dress either. It was simple, elegant—and hollow. Her heart thumped with quiet apprehension. The courthouse was nearly empty save for the officiant, a clerk preparing the documents, Benicio, Mrs. Langford, and the children who sat in sullen silence.
• Today was the day that she finally married Benicio. Sarah had no idea how she felt. But one thing was sure—she felt none of the giddiness and jitters that she often heard that brides had on their wedding day. Instead all she felt was dread, and doubt. One would think that it's already too late for doubt. Yet, as she smoothed down her little wedding dress, doubt pooled and settled heavily in her belly along with her unborn child.
